Meal Prep Tips

• Thaw the cauliflower rice, cut up the vegetables and store them in the fridge
• Mix up the dressing - there will be extra dressing, store it in the fridge for up to a week.
• Put it all together just before serving  or
• Assemble the bowls by placing the cauliflower rice on the bottom, then the vegetables, the chickpeas, chicken and dressing.

Change it up!

• Make it Vegetarian - leave out the chicken and add ¼ cup more chickpeas. 
• Make it low carb - leave out the chickpeas.
• Replace the chicken with grilled beef, or cooked shrimp.
• Instead of cucumber slices try using my recipe for cucumbers in vinegar.
• Replace cauliflower rice with brown rice, quinoa or your favorite whole grain.
• Alternate Dressing Idea: mix 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice & 2 tablespoons of olive oil sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon garlic powder & oregano.
